Cool I have a question!
What exactly is XHTML. how much different from HTML is it? and, do I have to re-learn a whole bunch of stuff to write valid code with it?

Basically, it's a way to try to standardize a lot of code that web designers create. with xhtml, coders must use proper syntax like <br /> instead of just <br>. This will make it easier for different browsers to display the same thing.

Yes, but it is very, very strict, for formatting you should use CSS. I have an assignment, I have to create a website using XHTML Strict or Transitional 1.0, and it is quite harder, because there are many rules you have to follow to have a valid XHTML file.

I love XHTML (using Transitional doctype), all my sites constructed to be XHTML valid (and CSS). Code looks like cleaner, and it's good practice for programming (to do valid code needs some expirience I think)

I think Transitional is okay, but In my oppinion it's better to just get used to XHTML Strict. Yeah, right. If you're gonna use frames I suppose you'll need Transitional, or Frameset. And you don't have to care about using correct Media type's and sh*t. But then again who actually care about W3C validated code when you're just starting out with web development?

Good opinion Fjeddy. I am do not using Strict because is too hard for me yes, it's true. Hard to develop in Strict doctype, because so many errors showing, and I can't fix it

guys, NOT developing in W3Schools standard is like creating thirdparty software and hardware for computers and video game consoles. It might look nice sometimes but most of the times, it screws up and its hard to fx it.
